473ml can, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Nose is pure pot – hard to separate the hops from the pot, but I assume this is mostly pot, like they infused some elderflower essence into some pot plant. Flavour is harsh, dry, and bitter, with lots of astringent bitterness, huge pot, lemon peel, and a pronounced bitter astringency on the finish. This just doesn’t work at all. Astringently bitter, unbalanced, harsh. There are better terp hazies out there.

Very pale yellow, opaque. Smells like a weedy hazy, limonene. So much limonene. Medium body, sort of oaty, medium bitterness, maybe some orange, even linalool. The most composed Four Winds terp IPA so far, but the base is still rudimentary in structure. Give me 10% more malt character (remember dewulf & cosyns honey malt?) and some ctz or Chinook. That would take this great lemon character and really elevate it.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a lightly hazed golden with a large white head. Aroma seems rather laid-back in the hop department, with bitter citrus peel, biscuity malt, and some toasted graininess. Flavour is certainly on the sweeter side, with tropical fruits, sweet cereal malts, and subdued citrus hops. Have the hops died here or is this a very lightly-hopped IIPA? Doesn’t really strike me as a westie. Decently constructed but not really the kind of IIPA I gravitate towards.

Pale gold, slight haze, weak head froths up a fair bit. Herbaceous, woody hops on the nose, mmild pale malt. The malts are okay on the palate too, leaning sweet, and the hops have a light spicy note to them. Decent pils.

Ive had a few hit or miss IPAs from Four Winds lately. Clear golden pour with decent head. Nectarine and pineapple marmalade. A lot of caramel, too much for a good double IPA. Light bitter end. Can.

Poured from the tap @ Darby's. Near black with small beige head. Mild barrel character, splash of cardamom spice, gentle roasted malts, decent.

Definitely a big weed smell. Kind of finishes in a little too much green onion. I guess that's better than coughing out after a big puff. Murky yellow pour with decent head. The smell is certainly better than the taste. Can.

On tap at Darby's. Pours black with a beige head. Lots of burnt sugars, roasted malts, and charred wood on the nose. Flavour has decent roast, dark sugars, burnt caramel, some charred wood, and boozy (bourbon?) finish. A bit too rough on the finish, but still quite nice.

473mL can, pours a mostly clear hazy blonde with a medium white head. Nose is almost more like an IPA, with big piney hops, plenty dankness, a bit of citrus peel, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is more pils-like, with piney hops, some dankness, grassy hops, and crisp crackery malt. Generously hopped, balanced well, and drinkable, though it is a bit seltzery. Good pils.
